Question

the following statements is valid for any scalars α and β and for any matrices
A, B, and C for which the indicated operations are defined. A + B = B + A

Expert Solution
Step 1: To provide the given and objective of the question

Given: Scalars alpha and beta , the matrices A comma space B and C .

Objective: To determine the validity of the statement " A space plus space B space equals space B space plus space A " for any scalars α and β and for any matrices A comma space B and C for  the indicated operations are defined.

Step 2: Apply the commutative property.

The statement " A space plus space B space equals space B space plus space A " is valid for any scalars alpha and beta and for any matrices A comma space B and C for which the indicated operations are defined. This property is known as the commutative property of matrix addition.

According to the commutative property of addition, the order of addition does not affect the result. In the case of matrices, this means that swapping the order of addition between two matrices does not change the sum.

For example, if we have matrices A and B, then A space plus space B is equal to B space plus space A. This property holds true regardless of the specific values of the matrices or the scalars involved in the addition.

In summary, the statement " A space plus space B space equals space B space plus space A " is a valid property of matrix addition and holds true for any matrices A and B where addition is defined.
